M4*6 BNJ - Shipston Road & then again on Birmingham Road. Richy

Quoting evotell: Thanks guys, all seems to working well, except the slow to start rev counter, any suggestions? Drive it? 😬
-
Quoting Mark W: Quoting Geo 420: Any slots left Merrick? Regards George Ring the L7C office to book . Wot he sed 😶🌫️

Merrick, Any news on the camping possibilities? No RV for me - just a lowly tent. Richy
-
SVC tell me that they supply Caterham Cars these light units. You could try asking them for a lens? Richy
-
CRB? Does it disappear when you press the clutch pedal? Richy

Cheers Al. Fish & Chips in Wales tomorrow - could be a bit damp!

MOT passed today, so I managed to give it a reasonable test. Garth: Is it me, or is it a smoother power delivery? And slightly less popping & banging? What have the 2Steves changed from the bog standard Caterham map? Anyway, thanks again Garth. It's contacts through the club like this that make membership so rewarding. Hope to see you on the F&C Run on Saturday! Andy: It was that thread that directed me to the root of the problem. Did you send it to SBD for repair? Richy (Blue with yellow stripe - C* RWY)

Update: The diagnostics didn't recognise the ECU. Garth had a spare following his engine upgrade. I've just fitted it, and the engine started first time. MOT tomorrow, so I'll get a run out and see how it goes. Thanks Garth. Richy

Mine's 4 years old and been garaged, but driven in all weathers. No sign of discolouration etc. I'd be inclined to take it up with Caterham. They were OK when I had a radiator failure not long after the end of the warranty period. Richy

I think I'll try the hair bobble approach! Just make sure your helmet fits over it 😬
-
Is it under warranty? Richy
-
Beware. Once you've tried it you'll be looking for an FIA Roll-bar! Richy

I use my daughter's hair bands. Just the plain ones. Yet to progress to sparklies. 😬 Richy

Run a flying lead cable direct from the battery +ve to the fuel pump fuse socket (with fuse removed). This should start the fuel pump so you can check it runs. (This worked on my Sigma. Assume it would on a K-series?) Richy
-
Sorry - Pin #17 has +12V on the ECU plug - measured with the ECU disconnected. Probably switches to ground within the ECU to operate the pump relay. Still cannot see any ECU data using the Easimap cable. Need to test on another car to confirm what I should be seeing. Richy
-
Good advice. I've just checked the power supply and grounds as per the Sigma wiring diagram and SBD Motorsport website as follows; Pin #6 & 7 are grounds. Continuity 0.5 Ohms to battery neg terminal. Pin #10 permanent +12V is good, continuity 0.5 Ohms to battery pos terminal.. Pin #13 switched +12V is good, continuity 0.5 Ohms to battery pos terminal. All OK there then. Pin #17 would be the switched output for the fuel pump and is showing +12V. Richy

Just tried to view the ECU data using the Easimap cable. The connector is recognised by the software, but no info is displayed for the ECU. Richy Edited to add: Is there anyone nearby who would be kind enough to let me try my ECU on their car before I spend £90 getting it tested by MBE? Stratford on Avon/Evesham/Moreton area?

It's not the pump - removed the pump fuse and supplied +12V to the fuse holder. Pump runs OK. Also tried same at the inertia switch socket. I suspect the ECU is knackered. Similar to this Getting hold of an Easimap cable tomorrow. Richy
-
Battery voltage is ok at 13V. Turns over on the starter no problem. Earths all OK. The low voltage at the fuel pump connector is a concern. I would expect 12V. The car was running perfectly before I switched it off. Now it won't fire at all. Believe another member had an ECU failure with these sort of symptoms? Richy
-
After a blat yesterday, I parked the car on the drive for a few minutes. Tried to restart the engine and it just turns over. Will not fire. Immobiliser lights appear to be working OK, but no noise from the fuel pump. Appears that I'm only getting 4.8V at the pump. I have tried resetting & shorting out the inertia switch, and swapping round the fuel pump relay at the fuse box. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks in advance. Richy

Quoting evotell: Struggling with the Sigma clutch. Like most of the Sigmas its got the internal slave cylinder and the plastic bleed nipple which can be turned according to the build manual, clockwise & anti-clockwise, that's seems to work just fine, problem is I have no fluid moving through the system. I have pumped the peddle for a minute or so and nothings even coming out of the master cylinder. Any tips would be most appreciated. Can you try a Gunson's eezibleed on the master cylinder? (other bleeding tools are available 😬)

Have you tried looking for a seat-belt type harness? We had one for an old lab when she had to sit on the back seat in the car. Richy
